Daniel Lanois' Black Dub

Black Dubs music sounds like what youd expect to come of a collaboration between throaty vocalist Trixie Whitley and French-Canadian super-producer Daniel Lanois. Its a heady mix of soulful blues, funk and reggae that would seem out of place in any venue that isnt lit exclusively by votive candles. Lanois is the mastermind behind the groups eponymous first album whose release was delayed after he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident last July. A protégé of Brian Eno as accomplished behind the sound boards as any producer in music, Lanoiswho rocks a shaman look that probably doesnt get him any second glances in his adopted hometown of New Orleanshas won multiple Grammys for his work with icons like Peter Gabriel, the Neville Brothers, U2 and Bob Dylan. Expect a show steeped in atmospherics, and watch that you dont blow out the lights. With Rocco Deluca. CALEB HANNAN
